I wrote this little skit many years ago when I was a young teacher hatching chicks in the classroom. It is a rhyming skit in which all students in the class may pariticipate. Some will be chicks while others with be ticking clocks. Depending on your class size and ability level, you could assign one or two children for each of the eight chick parts and have the rest be ticking clocks. You can create posters for your little "developing chicks" to hold that shows what is actually going on inside
